- Loud and Clear: The tone is surprisingly powerful and easily heard over kitchen or café chatter.
- Shows Fingerprints: The highly polished surface looks great but needs a regular wipe-down to stay pristine.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside bistro in Brighton, was struggling with communication between their open kitchen and floor staff during peak tourist season. Shouting orders was unprofessional and created a chaotic atmosphere.
"It’s such a simple thing, but it has completely calmed our service. A single, clear ding and our servers know a plate is ready. No more shouting, no more missed cues. The kitchen is a much happier place."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Their implementation of the bell resulted in a more streamlined workflow and a notable reduction in order collection errors during the busiest periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Simply unbox the bell and remove any protective packaging.
- Place it on a flat, stable surface where it will be easily seen and reached.
- Give the plunger a firm tap to test the sound and ensure it's working correctly.
- Position it for optimal use, whether on a reception desk, bar top, or kitchen pass.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain its shine, wipe regularly with a soft, microfibre cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners which could scratch the polished finish.
- Check periodically that it remains stable on its surface, especially in high-traffic areas.
